about

BLKRTZ048 sees Scott Monteith expounding his love of the extended dub mix to truly epic new heights, with 2 40 minutes slabs of smoked-out hypnosis appropriately titled The Double Bongcloud.

The release takes its title from a chess opening first played in competition by grandmasters Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura in 2021. It is so named because of its sheer and utter stupidity, that both players would indeed have to be stoned to make not just one, but two complete and total tactical errors.

While it may be anathema in the world of professional chess, as a title for a dub record there is quite obviously no more appropriate turn of phrase.

The Roots Mix sees Monteith calling up the spirit of the late great Augustus Pablo in some blue dust Obeah ritual, showcasing his own increasing virtuosity on the melodica worthy of invoking the name of said instrument's true grandmaster.

The Club Mix perhaps most closely recalls the wanderings and ponderings of fellow Berlin psychic traveler Ricardo Villalobos not only for its length but in its sheer level of psychedelic wormhole-ism, twisting and turning among the mirrored hallways of some unused Jodorowsky set piece.

The Double Bongcloud is available immediately via Bandcamp with worldwide digital distribution to follow in the coming weeks. A limited-edition vinyl edit will also follow in the coming months, with worldwide distribution via Juno.
